Performance: Performance was very good. Speed was above average for productivity and Web-based tasks such as word processing, Web browsing, and online game play. Since there are few instances where you will be working on multiple tasks simultaneously, you may rarely see the increased performance.
Portability: This Chromebook is an Excellent choice for traveling. Battery life lasted 13 hours in a light load of web browsing tests, and 7.75 hours in a heavier load of 4K video playback tests. Results were notably longer than many similar Chromebooks, under a workload of mixed use. At 4 lbs, weight was typical for a Chromebook this size and light enough to carry.
Ergonomics: The keyboard and case were well-designed, making it comfortable and convenient to use. The keyboard has large keys and was comfortably sized. The power button was well labeled and conveniently located. Friction on the touchscreen may prevent fast swiping, and fingerprints may take some effort to clean off.
Display: The display quality was Very Good overall. Colors were in the ballpark, though not completely accurate. The display has a wide viewing angle, especially important if more than one person needs to see the screen at a time, say, for a video or presentation.
Useful features and attributes on this model include: The Chromebook has a touchscreen for navigation and interaction directly on the display. Its storage space of 128GB is larger than most other Chromebooks, good for storing local backup files. You can connect common external devices such as hard drives and DVD players using USB 3.1 Gen 1 for maximum performance.
Downsides: No significant negative features.
